Several have asked to have it only keep one or a few backups. I have always pushed back not wanting to delete anything automatically; I would rather the user make the choice to delete backups. The more important question in your case is why is your system crashing that often?

Hmm.. I have the bad habit of turning it off without closing any windows that are not work or something that has to be saved. It must be from that..

Anyway, I'll stop doing that and I'll be checking the folder every now and then, I do some housekeeping occasionally anyway.

Thanks a lot.

Ha.. well, at least you have a very nice time/date stamp of when you just turned it off, now Under that condition, psd will treat the profile directory as orphaned (because the symlink leads to nowhere and it assumes your system crashed). It will then happily restore the media-bound backup and keep the snapshot as it has for you.

Got it. Thanks again!

Very pleased with this package (as is my SSD!).

Currently, the only issue I'm having isn't strictly related to psd. Rather, I love the idea of overlay(fs), but arch doesn't support upgrading the kernel >3.17 yet, so the feature isn't integrated in the kernel (I'm assuming you're running some kind of custom build?). Are there any work-arounds to this on a standard build?

Wait for 3.18.1-1 to come out of [testing] or check pick it and if needed, nvidia* from the same repo.

Hi. I have multiple firefox profiles, but I only want to sync my main one. The others I just use from time to time. Is there any way to sync the one, and not the others?

I am sorry if this has been covered before, but I haven't been able to find anything. I would also really like to say thanks for PSD, ASD, and profile-cleaner. [-:

@doc - Sorry, I think that would be too complicated and error prone in the config file. I toyed with only syncing the default profile but there again, psd would have to be restarted if the user changed the default.

Hello graysky,

Please, could PSD support Otter Browser.

The profile directory is: ~/.config/otter/

Thank you.

Hello graysky,

could PSD have a "only errors to syslog" mode please
it would help make the syslog cleaner

Thank you!

Guess I've never looked at the logs... I know it will print out its name pand version on invocation but nothing else if successful (from memory). Can you post a piece of your syslog? I need to review the code to see if I am redirecting the rsync output to /dev/null but I am on my phone and cannot right now.

graysky · 2015-01-30 09:54:32

That looks normal. You want it totally silent on a sync or unsync?

lord_rel · 2015-01-30 12:18:50

i want it silent unless im starting, stopping it or theres an error, please

graysky · 2015-01-30 13:18:14

That is how it is not I beliveve. It just doesnt print the token, ie sync, unsync.

lord_rel · 2015-01-30 14:05:10

i mean it shouldnt inform me of every sync, just failure to sync and the starting and stopping of the psd service in systemd

graysky · 2015-01-30 19:59:03

@lord_rel - OK. I updated to v5.68 just now which now gives sync status if successful or if ending in error. Tell me: what command did you use to generate that output? I don't see the timer status in my journal as you have posted. For me using systemd:

% sudo journalctl -u psd
-- Reboot --
Jan 30 14:48:41 ease profile-sync-daemon[15949]: Sync successful
Jan 30 14:49:59 ease profile-sync-daemon[16116]: Unsync successful

I don't think I can stop the journal logging the resync timer call... but I can suppress any output from the timer... but I would think you'd want to see an return code there in the log as well.

Note - I haven't pushed v5.68 to the AUR just yet. You can modify the PKGBUILD in the AUR changing the pkgver and regenerate the sha256 sums to try it out.

it seems im not communicating well, i want a toggle in psd.conf to disable the "profile-sync-daemon[11566]: Sync successful" and/or similar repeating notifications, but by now i researched enough to get that i cannot get rid of "systemd[1]: Starting Timed Profile-resync..." and "systemd[1]: Started Timed Profile-resync." which i also wanted off but isnt possible due to the limits of systemd timers, i just hoped to have a little less lines in my logs

thank for your time and work

graysky · 2015-01-30 20:36:06

OK. Your suggestion is a good feature anyway since logging the name/version was pointless. Now the return code/message will be entered.

Just wanted to signal that the file http://arch.coderkun.de/coderkun-aur/x8 … pkg.tar.xz which is being called by latest version is not on the server.

No idea what the server you linked is... The source is either on my server or in github.

Arch Linux
